The Colnago Carbitubo Pistas are made with carbon tubes & alumunium lugs... They were presented at the 1988 IFMA (Internationale Fahrrad- und Motorrad- Ausstellung)... Its carbon tubes came from Ferrari, a worthy supplier for a bike whose sole requirement is speed... Its carbon tubes were bonded to one another using aluminium lugs and they could, as you may suspect, become detached at the bond when under stress... Around 20 of these beautiful machines were made, making them a very prized possession to those few lucky bastards who were able to get their hands on them...
